How to – Randall Munro (XKCD)
I was super excited yesterday to get a message from Amazon to tell me that my pre-ordered copy of Randall Munro’s “how to” was being delivered. I’ve loved Randall’s most well known work, XKCD, for many many years now and the below Sudo comic is one of my favourite and most reused. I bought both… Continue reading How to – Randall Munro (XKCD)
Save as draft, come back to it later
This has always been my advice when writing an email/blogpost/sms/slack…. basically any form of communication that isn’t direct when the message you are delivering is negative, verbalises criticism, is questioning someone’s judgement, or is accusatatory. Emails to the boss That nasty email you’ve written your boss because you think they’ve over stepped the mark, or… Continue reading Save as draft, come back to it later
Insights in Microsoft Outlook
Yesterday I noticed a little icon in the menu bar on my Microsoft Outlook with the label “Insights” underneath it. I’m a sucker for any kind of analytical data. In the past, I’ve run Rescue Time to keep an eye on what I’m doing when I don’t know I’m doing it. I use Toggl to… Continue reading Insights in Microsoft Outlook

Should conference speakers get paid?
Yes. End of. I came across a tweet this morning from Jen Simmons along the lines of this post title. As a professional speaker, I continue to be amazed at how many conferences ask their speakers to cover the event’s airfare and accommodation costs out of their own pockets. Be humble. It’s a privilege to… Continue reading Should conference speakers get paid?
Website Builds
I was in a meeting the other day where I mentioned the we had (the royal we) built over 100 websites. It got me thinking about just how many websites I had been involved in over the years. To that end, I decided to try and keep an up-to-date list of all the sites I’ve… Continue reading Website Builds
Why is society so divided?
When I arrived home last night I did the quick round of goodnight kisses and tuckins for the kids before I retired downstairs to have some dinner and unwind after a days work. As most of you would also do, I’m guessing, I flicked on the TV to see what was on so I could… Continue reading Why is society so divided?
